Head

unit? Is this a good one? Did my thread title grab your attention? lol


It seem a reasonable price, and I'm not looking for anything outrageous, and I love the full screen that doesn't flip out. Audio people does this seem decent?

Thanks

No it doesn't pop out, and I like that it's not completely touch screen. I went and saw it on Saturday and it didn't seem flimsy.

I'm pretty sure the screen pops out on that one so you can use it as a GPS. Unless that's a different model. They almost look exactly the same, though.

You're a weak thread title. I'm more just curious the quality of it overall, I didn't want one that flips out because I want to avoid having one with a lot of moving parts that could break.

Hmm really? I didn't notice that. I'll go check it again.

rissa: look for an older f900bt or 700bt if you dont want nav, those are great units (2008 model)

look on ebay for em used, or here in the classfieds, you can get one for like 400 used with nav or like 300ish with out

just keep in mind the harness for our cars is 110 dollars, plus 50 if you want to keep your steering wheel controls

The U310 does in fact have the detachable screen, as stated about it is designed to be used as a handheld GPS as well. It's not a bad unit, I have installed a few of them, its a good buy for someone looking on a lower budget to add nav. Disadvantge of that unit is it plays no video whatsoever. Don't know how important that is to you but it has no video in/outputs. The f700 and 900bt units both have navigation and built in blue tooth, but again the 700 does not play dvd while the 900 does.

If you want the best deals on headunits, wait until the new models are released. The stores, such as Best Buy, will have the prices cut in half or more. I saw $1,200 headunits for $500 last year when I went looking for one. When the new models are released, they just slash last years model to sell it. I can't think when the offical date of the new models come out each year. I want to say around March, but I can't be for sure.

Lol that was the point! Hahaha I wasn't really looking for a headunit, I was at Best Buy getting something else and just looked over and I thought it looked decent. I want a full screen, and navigation is kind of a plus but not necessary.

I have a avic-z3 and love it- but if I had to replace that unit I would get the newest avic-z, the AVIC-Z110BT. I know you didn't want to spend over $500 but it might be worth saving up the extra $200-300 and get something really nice. I have found them on ebay for under $800. You maybe able to find them even cheaper than that, but I am unsure.
